Patent EP-0815023-B1 (EP)
Inventor: SEARLE MATTHEW JOHN

Abstract: A container for a beverage has a conventional external configuration with a cylindrical wall closed by a top member. The base member closing the other end of the wall is shaped to form an external cavity which extends within the container along its longitudinal axis. The wall defining the external cavity has a surface in contact with the contents of the container and this surface has a large surface area. The contents of the container can be cooled, heated, or kept hot, or kept cold by the insertion of container-less material into the external cavity. The inserted material may be heated or cooled before it is inserted, or it may be actuable to heat up or to cool down. The container is configured to be substantially the same size and shape externally as conventional containers, although it does have a smaller capacity. It can therefore be filled on the usual filling lines. Furthermore, the container can be filled and treated before the container-less material is retained in the external cavity. This enables treatments such as pasteurisation to be carried out.

Abstract: A vehicle such as an aircraft, railway carriage, motor coach or ferry having a passenger compartment [102] has a loudspeaker within the passenger compartment. The loudspeaker [81] comprises a distributed mode acoustic radiator [2] with a transducer [9] mounted wholly and exclusively on the radiator to vibrate the radiator to cause it to resonate. The seat backs within the passenger compartment are shells moulded from a suitable plastic material. These moulded seat backs form the frame for the loudspeakers and include a groove which effectively defines a resilient suspension for them.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte au domaine des récepteurs multi-branches et à quadrature d'interpolation dans lesquels des signaux à phase quantifiée et possédant une résolution de phase donnée sont envoyés vers un démodulateur. Ce dernier réagit à la phase et va reconstruire les données à partir des impulsions générées à des passages de niveau de phase. Afin d'éviter les instabilités indésirables de données, la résolution de phase doit être relativement élevée. A ce point, les récepteurs utilisés en l'état actuel de la technique deviennent compliqués et/ou ne sont pas satisfaisants du point de vue de la consommation électrique. Cette invention propose un récepteur en quadrature d'une grande précision et qui possède une consommation électrique réduite. A cette fin, les moments où l'on effectue la reconstruction des signaux de données dans ce récepteur, sont fixés en des instants prédéterminés entre des impulsions de démodulation successives et de polarités opposées, les données étant émises à ces moments. Les instants prédéterminés sont choisis en fonction du procédé de modulation et/ou des paramètres de transmission utilisés.

Abstract: Methods of calculating the platelet count of an individual, by measuring the amount of a released platelet granule protein of interest in a sample of whole blood or of platelet-rich plasma from the individual, are described. The platelet granule protein of interest is either thrombospondin or  beta -thromboglobulin. The amount of released platelet granule protein of interest in the whole blood sample or platelet-rich plasma sample is measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; radioimmunoassay; sandwich assay; a quantitative immunochromatographic assay; or non-solid phase nephelometry. The platelet count is directly related to the amount of released platelet granule protein of interest in the sample, and can be determined from the amount of platelet granule protein of interest that is released from a known number of platelets.

Abstract: A sample of a body fluid such as blood or interstitial fluid is obtained from a body by glancing a portion of a user's skin, preferably in an area other than a finger tip to form an incision. After the needle (42) has been removed from the incision, a force is applied to depress the skin in a manner forming a ring of depressed body tissue in surrounding relationship to the incision, causing the incision to bulge and the sides of the incision to open, whereby body fluid is forced out through the opening of the incision. A stimulator member (64) is mounted to an end of a lancet carrying housing (40) for applying the force. The stimulator member (64) can be movable relative to the housing, and can be either heated or vibrated to promote movement of the body fluid

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for forming a cased glass stream that includes at least one pair of aligned orifices (22, 28) coupled to sources (12, 40) of core and casing glass such that glass flows by gravity from the sources through the aligned orifices to form a cased glass stream. The orifices are carried by an orifice housing (44) mounted on a frame (46) for movement into abutment seating engagement of the orifice housing against the core and casing glass delivery mechanisms. The frame in accordance with the present invention includes a gimbal mounting arrangement (56 to 68) mounting the orifice housing to the frame so as to be pivotable about a pair of pivot axes (64, 70) that are orthogonal to each other and to the axis of alignment of the orifices. This gimbal mounting arrangement helps accommodate misalignment between the seating surfaces (72, 76) on the orifice housing and the glass delivery mechanisms, and to reduce glass leakage during operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to improved methods and apparatus for simulating the transmission of sound from sound sources to the ear canals of a listener, said sound sources being positioned arbitrarily in three dimensions in relation to the listener. In particular, the invention relates to new and improved methods for measurement of Head-related Transfer Functions, new and improved Head-related Transfer Functions, new and improved methods for processing Head-related Transfer Functions, and new methods of changing, or of maintaining, the directions of the sound sources as perceived by a listener. The measurement method have been improved so that it is now possible to measure and/or construct Head-related Transfer Functions for which the time domain descriptions are surprisingly short and for which the differences from one individual to the other are surprisingly low.The new Head-related Transfer Functions can be exploited in any application concerning simulation of sound transmission, e.g. auralization of concert halls, measurement, simulation, or reproduction of sound, such as in binaural synthesis, e.g. for generation, by means of two sound sources, such as by headphones or by two loudspeakers, the perception of a listener that he is listening to sound generated by a multichannel sound system, such as a surround system, a quadraphonic system, a stereophonic system, etc, in the design of electronic filters used in, e.g. virtual reality systems, to simulate sound transmission from a virtual sound source to the ear canals of the listener, or, in the design of an artificial head that is designed so that its Head-related Transfer Functions approximate the Head-related Transfer Functions of the invention as closely as possible in order to make the best possible representation of humans by the artificial head, e.g. to make artificial head recordings of optimum quality.
